  • I think the A is for asexual… like why tf would someone not interested in sexuality care. At a certain point it’s just someone wanting attention and I think we passed it a few characters ago. Before you, gentle reader, get upset see it for yourself… these come from Google search, obvious joke ones were ignored:

    LGBT
    LGBTQ
    LGBTQ+ <- this is literally all inclusive, no need to go further
    LGBTQ2 (“two spirit”… aka furries)
    LGBTQIA+ (longest “official” acronym)
    LGBTQIA2S+
    LGBTQIAAP+
    LGBTQIAGNC
    LGBTQQIP2SAA
    LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA+

    If that doesn’t make it obvious I’ll leave you with a quote from Peter Tatchell:

    It’s great to be inclusive, but the new alphabet soup is a confusing and alienating mess — made even worse when people get into spats over missing initials or the inclusion of initials they disagree with. The longest I’ve ever seen is LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA. This is absurd. It makes us a laughing stock and devalues serious issues around sexuality and gender.














  • I don’t like flatpak or snap or any of them. System libraries exist for good reason, just because your computer is stupid fast and you have enough disk for the library of Congress a couple times over doesn’t mean you should run a veritable copy of your whole operating system for each program. IMO it’s lazy.

    Sandboxing is a different thing though, if that’s the purpose then it’s doing it right.
